Default Any Regular Cab White Rams?

Hey I just bought an 04 Ram 1500 Single cab and I am looking for some ideas as to where I want to go with it. I have had a tough time finding pictures of modded white single cabs, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction...... I am not sure whether I should lift it 3 inches or keep it stock? What should be the best size wheels to get, I will frequently load motorcycles in and out so I need it to be accessible, I would also like to maintain some gas mileage so I guess that knocks big tires off the list? How about Big wheels with regular tires?

Any help is appreciated.
Here she is, getting all the bumpers and grill painted white, and pretty sure that I want black wheels, Beyond that I can't decide on anything....

I wouldn't lift it if you use it for bikes, so that kinda knocks lift/35's out of the picture. You could either put 17s and some semi meaty tires, or you could go to a 22" rim with some lower profile tires. Personally I'd find a nice set of 20s. Your bolt pattern is 5x5.5. Also is it 2wd?

My tires are 305/50/20s

I have pretty much left mine stock. Just put some good tires on it (read below) and a CAI. I would also recommend getting a tool box. They are easy to take out when you have to put your bike in. Mine is two bolts and I can slide the bike right in or my friends 2 gs500s. Also get a bed liner if you don't have one. Just get a heavy plastic one instead of spending a lot on a spray on. I really recommend the tool box. Craigslist for $50 and bought the U clamps at a truck store. And Yes I noticed mine is red not white.

Yea it's 2wd, not going to see any off road, just mainly hauling bikes around and serve as my new toy. It's only the V6, 5 speed so im going for All show, No Go. With your tires do you see any difference in Gas mileage?
What about a leveling kit? Is yours stock height?

Lol, I was just hoping to see some white trucks, I appreciate advice from all the colors. It came with a bedliner and a Roll up Tonneau Cover...

Thanks for the pic, I am pretty positive that I don't want to drop it any, I'm thinking Black 20"s with an agressive wider tire, and a leveling kit......
